infinite blood core

Chapter 964 The gap between the two countries’ game

"This year's grand duel was really exciting. Counting back, it was the most exciting one in hundreds of years."

"Who would have thought that the military's important magic weapon [Cold Pudding] would also be eliminated. In previous years, even if Violent Root could not win the championship, it would definitely be the runner-up."

"The competition pressure this year is too great. There really shouldn't be too many strong people participating in the duel!"

"It's a pity that there is no snow elf among the top four. There are three outsiders, and the only citizen of our country is Long Meng."

"Long Meng must win the championship! In the grand duel of the National Ceremony, it would be really embarrassing if an outsider wins the championship."

"The problem now is that Seventh Lang is really strong, very strong. We haven't seen his resurrection with our own eyes. If someone can force out his trump card and expose more of his intelligence, Long Meng The winning rate for adults is higher.”

"The dragon suit is fine! Let the dragon suit challenge Qicilang first and pave the way for Lord Long Meng."

"Yes, Lord Long Meng's kindness in pointing out the dragon suit should be repaid at this time!"

Public opinion gradually focused on the view that "Dragon Server should pave the way for Long Meng".

Not only the public expected this, but the Ice Sculpture Royal Family also implicitly hinted this idea to the survivors through the channels of the Alchemy Guild.

Now violence can no longer be counted on. From the perspective of the Ice Sculpture Kingdom, Long Meng is the only hope, and all means must be used to protect him.

The National Duel is of great significance. It contains profound political connotations, which radiate out and seriously affect the military and economy.

Not to mention, it also involves the duel godhead in Anqiu!

However, the dragon boy would not do this.

Because his main goal is to duel the gods. Once he loses and his reputation plummets, everyone's impression of him will be fixed on a weak person, which will have a huge negative impact on him.

Among the top four, the dragon boy is already the "weakest" existence. He must be very careful and cautious, and cannot be careless in the slightest.

After all, it was not easy for him to get to this point.

Fortunately, Cang Xu had predicted this situation a long time ago, so he acted in advance and secretly contacted Lei Kuang and then Wenliang.

The young dragon man needs Wenliang to take the initiative to challenge him, rather than him challenging Wenliang.

Once he takes the latter action, it will have a serious impact on his personal image. It will make the public, the royal family and other parties think that the dragon boy is ungrateful, does not want to help Long Meng, does not want to face the powerful enemy Qicilang, but chose a relatively weak docility.

The difficulty of this action is how to persuade Tongliang to take the initiative to challenge the dragon boy.

By giving gifts to Lei Kuang, we only built a bridge of communication.

Lei Kuang also made it clear that he could not influence Wenliang's thoughts. Everything has to be negotiated personally between the survivors and Wenliang.

As a result, Wenliang agreed to the idea very easily.

Things went smoothly far beyond Cang Xu and others' expectations.

Wenliang was also willing to take the initiative to tell him what he meant: "This is the road to salvation given by my Lord. My encounter with Lei Kuang, coming to Ice Sculpture Island, and participating in the duel were all arranged by my Lord. The same is true for your request." "

"This is my master's intention to let me fight with the dragon suit."

"So, I should thank you."

Knowing this answer, the survivors were speechless for a while.

Once the most critical person is solved, the next action will go smoothly.

On the one hand, the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group secretly agreed to the royal family's request and took advantage of this opportunity to purchase a lot of rare dragon materials at low prices from the treasury.

On the other hand, the young dragon man asked Long Meng for advice on how to fight Qicilang.

Long Meng expressed his gratitude to the dragon boy for his choice and told him: It doesn't have to be this way.

The young dragon man committed a fraud: This is my gratitude. I have always been grateful for your advice, and I hope Long Meng can accept it.

Long Meng also felt strong pressure from Qicilang. He pondered for a moment before nodding: "If I were alone, I would prefer to enjoy the 'surprise' brought to me by powerful enemies in battle."

"However, I have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders and a big responsibility."

The dragon boy smiled and comforted: "Collecting intelligence is also a part of battle, and it is also a part of strength."

Long Meng finally nodded in agreement.

The success in defrauding Long Meng made the young man feel guilty.

But what can he do.

"Long Meng, you are right."

"You have a heavy responsibility and can't help yourself. Why am I not the same?"

"I don't want to deceive you, I want to be a frank and close friend with you. Unfortunately, I am a leader, and I shoulder the expectations, future, and lives of others."

"I need dueling gods!"

The young man has not forgotten Long Meng's guidance, but he can choose the way of repayment instead of giving up his own and other survivors' hope for survival.

After reaching this point, it’s not over yet.

At Cang Xu's suggestion, the dragon boy urgently contacted the Lord of Snow Bird Harbor and explained his current actions. He wanted to pave the way for Long Meng and challenge Seventh Lang in advance. I hope the Snowbird Port City Lord will provide powerful equipment if possible.

This shocked the Lord of Snowbird Harbor.

The Lord of Snow Bird Harbor was a little anxious and quickly contacted the Thirteenth Prince.

He was originally a member of the Imperial Secret Service, codenamed "Fan Shan". His assumption of the position of Lord of Snowbird Port was the basic territory paved for the return of the Thirteenth Prince by the Imperial Secret Agent.

The Thirteenth Prince had known about this arrangement for a long time. During the voyage, he saw the information and secretly cursed the Lord of Snowbird Harbor for his incompetence in losing the mage tower.

The Thirteenth Prince couldn't sit still when he learned about Longfu's plan to challenge Qicilang.

"Although Qicilang is powerful, Long Meng never shows off. The latter is relied on by the Ice Sculpture Kingdom, and the layout of the duel conferences has already begun. The outcome of the battle between Qicilang and Long Meng is hard to say."

The Thirteenth Prince also saw the magic images and knew that in the battle between Qicilang and "Big Han", the latter did not really use all his strength, but took the initiative to retreat.

According to the personal conjecture of the Thirteenth Prince: Dahan might be worried about the background of Qicilang and the background of the Thirteenth Prince. Dahan's strength allowed him to openly offend the Ice Sculpture Kingdom, but he did not want to go against the Shengming Empire.

"Even if Qicilang has an advantage, I have to do my best to assist him and strive for a greater winning rate for him."

"This is what I should do!"

With this realization, the Thirteenth Prince immediately took action, activated his power, and began to thwart the dragon boy's plan.

The think tank offered advice, and the Thirteenth Prince also contacted Lei Kuang and gave him a heavy gift.

Lei Kuang was quite pleasantly surprised to see someone giving gifts again. He did not expect such unexpected gains.

After seeing Wenliang, the envoy of the Thirteenth Prince explained his intention.

Wenliang nodded and immediately agreed, surprising the envoy.

Wenliang also expressed his gratitude.

Lei Kuang finally couldn't help but make a suggestion: "Lord Taming, you agreed too easily. This is a good opportunity to make a request. Although you can't step on the road of salvation or use equipment, potions, scrolls, etc. can still be used. Very useful for your duel."

Wenliang looked indifferent and stared at Lei Kuang silently.

Lei Kuang quickly retreated under the pressure of gentle eyes.

Wenliang entered the prayer room, and his prayer voice came from inside again: "Great Barbarian God, my father and my Lord, I pray to you devoutly and thank you for the second revelation. I have understood that the atonement in front of me is The road, the only way..." "Barbarian God...sigh." Lei Kuang paused slightly, then shook his head and sighed, quickened his pace and left quietly.

The operation of the Thirteenth Prince goes beyond just contacting Tongliang.

As Wen Liang openly challenged the dragon boy, the Imperial Secret Agent began to mobilize public opinion.

Public opinion quickly shifted.

"Longfu should accept this invitation to fight, otherwise he is afraid of being docile!"

"I really hope to see dragon uniforms and docile battles. I support dragon uniforms."

Big picture? Humph, what’s the overall situation! He is just an outsider.

We have to rely on outsiders to test Nanichiro. Even if the final champion stays in the country, what is the meaning of such a victory?

The key depends on Longmeng’s pattern! If he relies on support instead of fighting alone, even if he wins the championship in the future, I think there is water in it.

Public opinion can be manipulated.

Public attitudes are more rooted in emotions, limited by cognition and intelligence, and are often not calm and objective judgments.

Public opinion continues to ferment.

Soon, it also affected the potion business of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group.

A huge potion order was placed in front of Zidi.

This was the cryptic way the Thirteenth Prince used to induce the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group to agree to a duel with Wenliang instead of dealing with Qicilang.

Even if the dragon boy can challenge Long Meng, the reward will be astonishingly high!

The first to feel the imperial power's counterattack was the Ice Sculpture Royal Family.

With the order from the empire, the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group once again found the representative of the royal family and explained their difficulties.

"I didn't expect the water here to be so deep!" Zidi sighed, knowing that she had already decided to quit and did not want to get involved in such a high-end game.

"We just wanted to do some business."

"Although I personally have a little ambition, I also know that this is not a game I can participate in."

"I agreed to challenge Qicilang before, which proves that I am really short-sighted and ignorant of current affairs."

"This alchemy blueprint is my apology this time."

Anyway, there was no magic contract signed before, so the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group could advance and retreat freely.

The alchemy blueprint records an alchemy component that can perfectly match the magic construct [Cold Pudding].

When the king heard the news, he fell into deep thought.

"Hmph, Thirteenth Prince!"

The Ice Sculpture King's face was as gloomy as water. In his heart, the Thirteenth Prince was his biggest enemy. The Shengming Empire had put him under pressure for many years, making it difficult for him to breathe.

He used off-board moves, and the empire also responded powerfully inside.

The king thought carefully and felt that the scope of the battle should not be expanded.

It makes no sense to roll like this!

The final analysis is that the Ice Sculpture Kingdom cannot defeat the Shengming Empire. The latter is too large, while the main body of the Ice Sculpture Kingdom is an island, a veritable small country.

"If we agree to withdraw from Dragon Server, it will be a signal for us to restrain ourselves."

The Ice Sculpture King's judgment: According to the tacit political understanding of the game between the nobles, the Thirteenth Prince will also restrain himself.

"As for the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group, let's handle it this way for the time being."

The king thought of the alchemy blueprint, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

"To be able to come up with the alchemical components suitable for the magic construct [Cold Pudding] in such a short period of time fully demonstrates the strength of the arms dealer behind the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group!"

"It also proves from the side that arms dealers must have more good things in their hands."

The Ice Sculpture King has always been interested in the arms dealer behind the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group.

Because international arms dealers have a natural tendency to form camps, they are the natural allies of the Ice Sculpture Kingdom.

The Shengming Empire invaded the wilderness continent and had powerful equipment advantages. International arms dealers sell high-end arms to the orcs, which undoubtedly creates obstacles for the Shengming Empire.

Therefore, the Shengming Empire has long launched its efforts to target international arms dealers.

From a certain perspective, the Ice Sculpture Kingdom is also an international arms dealer!

The alchemy products sold outside the Ice Sculpture Kingdom are not only civilian products, but also arms. Compared with civilian products, huge profits must come from arms.

Therefore, in the heart of the Ice Sculpture King, the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group is still half a peer.

"Just let them do their business."

"Once again releasing goodwill, it will be easier to contact the people behind them in the future."

The dragon boy's initiative to retreat this time deepened the senior management's impression of the dragon and lion mercenary group as "weak, harmless, and capable of cooperation."

After careful consideration, the Ice Sculpture King finally agreed to the dragon boy's concession.

After successfully communicating with the royal family, the dragon boy met Long Meng without stopping.

Long Meng had already known about the turbulent undercurrent behind it.

He himself is the most important piece on the chessboard. He is caught in the whirlpool and has deeper feelings.

The dragon boy brought a great gift, a bundle of high-quality spell scrolls. He told Long Meng: Although he personally has a strong desire to challenge Qicilang. However, due to the situation, as a leader, he was really powerless and unable to help.

Long Meng said that he could completely understand, let the dragon boy relax, and accepted the dragon boy's gift.

"These spell scrolls are indeed useful to me, so I accepted them."

The relationship between Long Meng and the dragon boy has reached the level of good friends.

When Long Meng accepted the gift, he was not polite at all. From this perspective, Qicilang indeed put a lot of pressure on Long Meng.

Finally, Zidi came forward again, politely rejected the empire's order, and clearly informed the other party that she would no longer challenge Seventh Lang.

Zidi "expressed her feelings": she did not want to get involved in the high-end bureau, she just wanted to fulfill her duties and sell arms well.

After the Thirteenth Prince learned about it, he snorted coldly, thinking that he would definitely deal with the international arms dealers in the future, but at this time, he might as well let it go. There is no need to force neutral forces to the enemy's side.

According to Cang Xu's strategy, the survivors cleverly took advantage of the contradictions in the game between the two countries, danced as hard as they could in the small space symbolized by the two powers, and protected their own interests as much as possible.

The dragon boy and Zi Di once again felt from Cang Xu what it means to be an excellent politician!

When the dragon boy stood in the duel field, facing the calm face of Wen Nang, he knew how difficult it was for him to stand here at this time.

Without the value of the war peddler's database, without the blessing of Zidi's excellent negotiation skills, and without Cang Xu's strategy, he now has to pave the way for Long Meng.
